Hah! You should see our chair graveyard, since I'm not the only one that breaks them. We have probably around 12 broken chairs in a corner.

Oh no I understand, I used to be the prime example of polygamy (well not really since they we're not really relationships). I used to be one of those guys for which every skirt is a new possibility and I had this knack for sleeping around,

Nope, because I've checked and the only restriction on limo services is that they can't stop for passengers (what you said is a great example of limo drivers breaking the law). Off course it wouldn't surprise me SF was the only state that h

I've used limo services a lot (they're really just a bit more expensive than using a cab really), and I tend to forget to arrange it before I jump on the plane. It has never been a problem to call a few limo services to ask if they have ava

If you would cheat on him that easily I'd argue you're with him for convenience or because you settled. In any case, I'd hate distrusting my significant other to that point. I would really not be able to have a relationship like that. YMMV

I'd argue that the most important piece of equipment you can give a programmer is a good chair. Not only are the bad ones bad for you, but they break easily IMO. I'm 175 pounds and have gone through 4 chairs in 3 years of service. The chair

Oh no sorry if it came of as if I attacking you, I wasn't, I was just making a point! :) That quote is false as almost all Limo services allow you to use their services on a last minute basis if they have available limos. To be honest, I've

It's not a taxi service. It's a Limousine/Black car service. And Ubercab only provides the dispatch operations and facilitate payment, not the transportation service itself

California law stated that limousines must be dispatched on a private hire prearrangement basis, regardless of if the reservation is an hour before or not. The vast majority of the limousines services in the united states offer last minute

Why would they be operating a cab service? There are two things that separate cab service and black car service. 1) black car service drivers are not allowed to pick up passengers by street hail or any other method that is not dispatch by b

The difference is that instead of a yellow car, you get a black car. What is a limo service but a luxury version of a taxi service? The distinguishing factor is that one can pickup passengers on the street and by hail and the other is only

Oh no I understood the point of the link. Taxi operations in SF really is mob controlled. The thing is, UberCab was never meant to be a replacement to taxi cabs, it's a way to provide people with expedited black car services. Ubercab opera

This has nothing to do with UberCab because they are not dispatching cabs to their customers. UberCab is pre-arranging a limo/professional chauffeur/personal driver service with valid license and insurance policies required for private tr

I meant mixed as in blended. Sorry or the confusion. Blended scotch is ok to drink on the rocks... sometimes it's the only way actually. Single malt is in a whole different class though.

Perhaps they are not, but when you have those three agreements signed it becomes hell to try to compete. You shouldn't compete (even if it's not enforceable), you can't talk in any way that reflect wrongly on the other business, and off cou

It's my understanding that the hour reservation specifics are basically FUD. Since when can you not call a limo service and say "I need a limo for right NOW! Do you have any?", because I'm pretty sure you can and they will send a limo your

Why would you think I don't think punctuality is important? I just say that it isn't an intrinsic measure of professionalism, while performance generally is. If the orchestra case you need to be on time, as to not waste someone else's time.

In the case of meetings and the such I do understand the need to have everyone be punctual though, and that should be stated before hand. If you have a meeting, be there on time, if nothing time sensitive is on the calendar, then let peopl

Food for thought, they signed a Non-Compete and NDA agreement. They can't directly compete with you and if they do you better sue them like your life depends on it. Also, as it was said by another poster, you are agreeing that you did somet

By your definition of professional I don't understand why you want punctuality. Three months into the last job I had, I told the company: "I'm more productive when I'm more productive. I'm not going to abuse off course, but I'm not getting
